Just found out there's an actual Frank Lloyd Wright Residential House in Staten Island...Its a...

Prefab. Der, didn't know he did that. A way to make more affordable, yet still quite stylish.

The way FLW, and his colleague Erdman put them together; they were designed to be individual, so no one is identical to the other. Interesting!

Of course, there's The Guggenheim, but I'm also interested in his Prarie style homes, as well. I love his works, and even drawings for projects that never got completed (have a big calendar of drawings!).

Will have to Google map it. Sketchy if there's public transit near enough, and it's up on S.I. big hill. So I'll probably not go see it.
Even if I did: of course, I'm not knocking on the home's front door. It would still be cool to see the outside! 👍
